This toolkit is designed to help in establishing and maintaining a food waste diversion program for schools or restaurants. It includes a step-by-step description of how to set up a program, from the first meeting to making sure the program is sustainable in the future. Estimates on time and money requirements are also included, based on projects that have been completed and are now running successfully. There are also case studies of successful participants and sample documents that can be adapted for your use. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has highlighted food waste recycling as a major area of focus in waste management over the next ten years. This toolkit can help your municipality meet the State’s goals, increase the life of existing landfills, save money on disposal, support local business and farms, and create a valuable product for use in gardens, lawns and farms.
